Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Bumper Save Pit Crew & Chief Ain’t the Pits
Looks like “Cac1959” received his Team Bumper Save Crew.
Nice.
One click. A huge time and frustration saver … if you got your online order in … otherwise, guess it’ll hit the store shelves anyday?
Easiest set to buy so far? Though I guess HTB, Dinoco & Leak Less were not difficult for the first week.
I think the Target sale is just about over so maybe Sunday at Target? (WE know where most CARS buyers will be on Saturday …)
This was the original list & order and it certainly seems the order is correct …
So Nitroade should be next …
The first release with RED headphones – Nice!
Then …
And N20 Cola to round out the summer?
Thanks CAC1959 and “003” for some of the pics.

My Bumper Save Crew Chief and Pitty set came in the mail today from Target. This set is so nice in person, the blue is really a nice soft blue. It looks great with the Team Bumper Save set and the Pit Box Got Frank made.
Kmart Cars and new Team set all in one day. A great day for Cars. And found a Chase Fillmore yesterday.
can’t wait we have leakless and htb and I want them all.
Was Octane Gain released, because I haven’t seen it anywhere, just the 1st 3?
Yes it was, but not many were made. I hope I can find one. Also, as a question, will they be rereleased?
Does anyone know what shape aka cast is likely for Trunk Fresh Chief and Mood Springs Chief? Hope Bumper Save is easier to find on the shelves than Octane Gain was; I never saw the Octane Gain pit/chief pack even once on the shelf. Love the shape of the Bumper Save and Easy Idle Chiefs!
Dexter Hoover’s shape. (Same as N2O, Chick, Nitroade, and the King’s crew chiefs.)
Thornton ,CO June 11th.
I was notified by Target online that the Bumper Save Crew Chief and pittys were available. The email was sent on June 5th. Unfortunatly, I didn’t read my emails till today. I quickly went to their website. Not available was what it read. Kick me now.
Last week I found Dragon McQueen with collectors guide at TRU, also found Mia and Tia as waitress with trays holding oil cans with Flo holding a tray with cans also. It’s a 3 car pack with Radiator Springs on the left corner of package. They also had a 3 pack of Red, wet McQueen, and Sally. Fred with fallen bumper. Big score that day. I haven’t been able to find Van with the sticker.
i found the same old stuff at target….
The “end date” for the price reductions on the singles and sets at Target is June 19, so you’ll still have another week to see what they get.
Not all stores have been participating. I was told it’s dependent on what the sales numbers on those items have been like in the recent past.
Our target successfully clearanced out the last of its old trucks and trailers a couple of weeks ago and the next shipment in was more of the same old stuff!
I also checked a WalMart, which is off my usual circuit, yesterday for “new” items and found about a dozen Wally Haulers.
Something in the distribution system is broken !
Nice, but over priced. Should be priced the same as the 3 packs.
I was also thinking about getting my son some of the new cars legos, but wow, talk about price gauging for what is included in the sets.
i noticed on kmart.com that for toy story toy chunk they called him chuck!lol
The back of the Bumper Save box shows Leakless and HTB Chief and Pitty sets. More shelf warmers coming.
Uh, oh. In my area, Dinoco seems to be doing well, and htB (Chick) is moderately well. It’s the Leak Less that worrys me. I can’t go to Target without seeing at least 3 Leak Less sets. Stop the Leak Less, Chick, and Dinoco sets Mattel, please. Read this blog, and bring the Octane Gain sets and Martin back to the cars line. I hope more Octane Gain sets come around. I really wanted those. No more Leak Less. By the way, change the price to $15, or even $11, or less.
I think the reason the Leakless sets just sit and sit is because the Leakless sets only had a couple of new pitties. Most people already had the Crew Chief (Earl Filter) and Stacy pitty from the 3 pack when they were 10.97 or so and when they were released as singles. That is the only Team set I did not get.
All I have from the set is Stacy. If I get it, I may make the 2nd Stacy into a Sidewall Shine pitty by covering up Leak Less logos with 74s. I don’t mind a few extra pitties, as the racers probably have more than 4. It’s the crew chiefs I don’t want to duplicate.
Found a few mis-packed Gift Packs at TRU with the Mia & Tia being sub’d for Lightning McQueens. These were definately done at the factory. So definately keep an eye out for what is actually in the packs. Got my Flo’s V8 set which is really nice.
Will Octane Gain be rereleased? That’s the one I want more than all the others. I hope they don’t pack more pegwarmers because then that’ll be another 6-7 months to wait for them to go. BTW, when I say pegwarmers I mean Dinoco, htB, and Leak Less. Lots seem to be clogging the shelves, but mostly Leak Less. I really wanted Octane Gain more than all the others. I really want it badly.
now if only someone would clear the shelves of 15-20 the htb, leakless and Dinoco sets at all my local targets we might see some of these. I may have to do a mass relocation.
all the N2O pittys have different shades of green.
Arent these the $20 sets? Yikes!
They look good!
That Nitroade set is looking tasty! Needs me one of those!
Will be on the hunt for these after going to Kmart, of course 🙂
Cant wait to find these
